Courses with specific year designations (e.g., "223" or "2024") have fixed expiration dates and cannot be reopened once they expire. For example, 2024-based courses must be completed by March 31, 2026, and will close permanently on April 1, 2026.

Some courses, such as EHR and EMR specialist courses, may allow extensions if they do not have a specific year designation.

Most courses can be extended on a monthly basis for a fee of $59.95 per month.

Courtesy extensions may sometimes be provided at no cost, depending on the circumstances.

To request an extension, contact AAPC support or use your account portal.

Courses with year designations, such as "2024-based courses," have strict deadlines. Extensions cannot go beyond the permanent cutoff date.

Once these courses close, they cannot be reopened or extended further.

Expired courses that cannot be extended may be eligible for an upgrade to the latest version. For example, a 2024-based course can be upgraded to the 2026 version.

In some cases, alternative options may be available if a course has expired, depending on the program.

Upgrades are handled by AAPC Education Specialists, who can provide details on costs and inclusions.

Canceled self-paced courses, such as the CPB course, can often be reopened and extended. In some cases, courtesy extensions may be provided.
